EARLY PRAISE FOR CUCKOOLAND ‘Burgis’s book is a work of gripping, page-turning genius that deftly explains exactly how the super-rich have bought up our democracies and sought to hijack the truth by imposing their own versions of reality, engaging in lawfare to censor anyone who might challenge them. Oligarchs will read this book and weep at how their hollow tactics have been exposed’ Catherine Belton, bestselling and prize-winning author of Putin’s People PRAISE FOR BURGIS’ PREVIOUS BOOK KLEPTOPIA A Sunday Times bestseller ‘A ghastly and very important story’ Guardian ‘A meticulously reported piece of investigative journalism written in the style of a fast-paced thriller … Gripping … Kleptopia is not a far away republic in central Asia; it is all around us’ The Times ‘I don’t do book reviews.

Terrifying’ Paul Lewis ‘A must-read for anyone wanting to better understand what has already happened here in America and what lies ahead if Trump is reelected in November … A magisterial account of the money and violence behind the world’s most powerful dictatorships … Meticulously reported’ Washington Post ‘The architects of our national security would do well to bring to their meetings a well-thumbed copy … It unpicks the filthy flipside of globalisation … Incendiary’ Edward Lucas, The Times ‘Does the job brilliantly … with a hero straight out of a John le Carré novel … Wonderfully if grimly entertaining’ Economist
